Default Re: What are you looking for, as a volunteer?

It is not voluntary work in the formal sense, but I have 'adopted' a couple of young people who are experiencing difficult times. One needs a helping hand in order to cope at university due to health problems, the other needs stability and direction because there are problems and health worries at home. Hopefully a bed for the night when needed, a welcome at our table and a lot of encouragement will help them. If we reach out to people, they in turn will reach out to others, this will lead to strong communities and a more caring world.
